Just a straw with some holes will do fine.

A PLASTIC STRAW???????????? I am shocked and appalled..........Send for the straw police immediately. :faceinpalm:

When I was a kid (several decades ago), I did this all the time. I would also put several together (maybe 10 ft long) to get the same range as a contrabass clarinet. It was a blast.

Surprisingly good tone. sadly those are illegal in California.

I've done the same with a squash stalk (briefly) and a piece of ziti (also brief).

A stem of dandelion can work to this effect too. The soft fibrous material makes it easy to pinch a split to make a double reed, but it's hard to carve tone holes. However if you find a stem whose OD matches another ones ID, you can make a trombone slide of sorts.

Amazing how a huge talent can find many ways to make music. With the carrots, straws, wash tubs, washboards, saws, spoons, etc., and some talented musicians, you could have a 'Penny Orchestra' that would be great.

He is obviously a very skilled woodwind/oboe? player. I found it interesting how much he could change the pitch by just using his oral cavity. Thanks for posting that.

Not quite the chick magnet as the saxophone is..........

Even better, a garden hose.

Eastern classical's not a bad choice of genre for the straw--though really, it's better with pop.

I think the 5 digit S/N dusters are better than the 6 digit S/N ones.
